Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools
Dear Sir
I made design in WEBENCH - this project suits me completely - I would not want to change L1 and C OUT. Please see attach
Please clarify about PSB:
1) WEBENCH recommend to locate caps COUT, Rfb2, D1 on the bottom of the PSB? I always thought, that it is desirable to have all the elements on the top side.
2) If I understsnd right, I can use LM2596 without heat sink in this application? Apparently, I need to make a polygon on the PSB for cooling LM2596?
3) I can not really consider the traces on this drawing - how can I see them better?
4) WEBENCH recommend to set C in caps - 4,7 microF, 3 pcs - does this really make sense? Why are they located on the board so far from LM2596?
5) I tried to see the 3D model, but it's all black and nothing is visible there.
